While the Sony Tablet S received its Ice Cream Sandwich treat as scheduled in April the Tablet P missed the mark but now Sony has rescheduled the roll-out process and, according to their calendar, it should be landing on May 24.

The end of next month is when owners of a Sony tablet — namely Tablet S or Tablet P — should be preparing to receive the official Ice Cream Sandwich update from the manufacturer.

It is not clear whether AT&T is using the rather old Xperia Play to sell its new Tablet P — which just recently landed on its line-up — or is trying to get rid of the old PlayStation phone by using the new tablet.

It’s well-nigh impossible to look at Sony’s Tablet P without conjuring up some memories of Kyocera’s Echo from last year.

Together with the Xperia phone line-up Sony is also preparing to update its current tablets, the Sony Tablet S and Tablet P, to the latest iteration of Android. These tablets are reportedly already running test ICS code and the final bits will be rolled-out this spring.
